I agree Craig great draft, I just am not sure how Kampman fits in.

I think he is not an End in the 3-4 and I don't see him playing standing up. So maybe we just could ship a 7th rounder over to ya for him, so you know you could have something to show for switching defenses and eliminating what was your best defender...

• Green Bay. B.J. Raji's the best anchor for a 3-4 in this draft. I don't trust Clay Matthews, but we'll see. Why? He walked onto the USC campus weighing 161 pounds. Is his frame fine, adding 80 pounds in such a short time?

I mentioned it on another thread.  It's not hard to put on weight like that.  Especially considering he would have had access to a nutritionist and the best workout equipment money could buy.  Believe me, if we knew the amount of calories those guys put down a day it would  look sickening.   Think of it this way:


300 calories a day increase over your maintenance level will give you an added 1 lb a week.  Times that by 52 and you can easily see how it's possible.  Athletes like that, who are bulking, would probably take in 2000 calories is raw protein alone in a day (and I'm guessing much more).

My sources tell me that the Packer defense is dominating at their camp, which is a little surprising since they are going to a totally new scheme.

Aaron Kampmann is making plays all over the place, but he did get beat by Finley deep.  That may just be what Kampmann is like in the 3-4, dominant unless you burn him deep.  Will the Vikes TRY to burn him deep ?  Also, Finley has looked outstanding at TE, and MIGHT unseat Lee in the near future, but Lee is a better blocker, so it's kind of a nice 1-2 punch, just like Kleinsasser/Shiancoe.

The Packer defense might just need to be mediocre to take the division, if they are good, they might be the best team in the NFC, the most balanced.  Charles Woodson has looked REALLY good, age is NO factor for him.  Al Harris can still be a liability, you just have to put a physical WR on him, or burn him deep.

They were expecting a big year out of Jordy Nelson, but I heard that WR James Jones has looked really sharp and might solidfy his spot as a #3 on a team that is well stocked at WR. 
                                  
Barnett hasn't even been playing, but his replacement is doing well in his place.  I expect the defense will be even better when Barnett returns.  I also heard that one player that is really standing out is AJ Hawk, he loves the 3-4, feels at home, and really wants to prove himself.

The good news is Raji isn't signed, Collins is holding out, there are some injuries on the OL and Mike McCarthy is still the HC.

I always hate when coaches come in and install a scheme that doesn't fit the players.  We were not a WCO team personnel wise for 3 years but that didn't stop Bard.

Kampman is not a 3-4 defensive player.
